The Doctrines of the PhariseesDecember 10, 2005 Article By: Tom Demeter Dear Friend, We are living at the End of the World (1), when Jesus predicted that we would be like the people in Noah’s day (2). In Noah’s day the truth was not available to the people and they did not know the Creator, only the “god” whom Paul identified as the “god of this world,” Satan the Anti-god (3). Apostle John in the book of Revelation was inspired to say by the holy spirit (4) that “Satan deceives the whole world” (5). When a nation and now the world’s is totally “deceived,” to obey the Anti-god, not the Creator that is when our “sin is full” (6). This marks the End of the World, as in Noah’s day, when all life was destroyed (7). The same penalty was executed on the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah after the flood (8). Jesus brought us the “knowledge of salvation” (9) given to Apostle Paul. Jesus the resurrected Christ sent us also the “holy spirit” (10) that we could gain eternal life. While Jesus was walking on this earth, He warned us: “Take heed and beware of the LEAVEN of the Pharisees and the Sadducees.” Jesus was referring to the “DOCTRINES of the Pharisees and the Sadducees” (11). Why? We read why Jesus rebuked the Pharisees and the Sadducees in Matthew the twenty third chapter not once, twice or three times, but EIGHT times (12). Why? After Jesus was confronted by the Pharisees, Jesus said to the multitude: “WOE to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for you SHUT UP the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ (the resurrection and eternal life) against men: for you neither go in yourselves, neither suffer you them that are entering to go in” (13). Christians go to church to find, and gain SALVATION which is “the way” to eternal life (14). Jesus told that in this age, or “dispensation” it is given to a “ few” to find “the way” to eternal life (15). To the “many” it is given to find the Anti-god’s counterfeit salvation only (16). Please count yourself into the “many” unless you are one of God’s Two Witnesses, who are sent to “restore” the truth to us Mat.17:11. All of our Christian churches teach the “doctrines of the Pharisees,” like Judaism did in Jesus’ day, because God’s “mystery, His SALVATION calls for our “deception” first, to be “ALIENATED ” from God that later, we may through Christ be “RECONCILIATED” to Him (17), in His future “ages to come” (18). The “many” in this age are prevented to know our Creator, the truth and God’s true “knowledge of salvation!” If Christ “called” (19) you now, which is one of the greatest privilege, to be one of His Firstfruits (20), to be in His “better” resurrection at His second coming (21), you must know what are the “doctrines of the Pharisees.” This will allow you to know the truth, God’s salvation, which was “hidden” until now, to “come out” of this system (22), and its religious, monetary, and legal deception. This will give you a chance to be in the “better,” or the first “resurrection” (23) to eternal life, or to be in the millennial kingdom of Christ on the earth. In this “dispensation” (24) this is only given to a very “few” (25). This tells us that Christianity is “deceived” and lacks Christ’s salvation (26). The Immortality of the Soul DoctrineThe most important “Doctrine of the Pharisees” is the “IMMORTALITY of the SOUL” doctrine. This doctrine is so brilliant that Satan must have learned it from our Creator, as he had to learn the weakness of Job from God also, being blind to it. Every religion have this doctrine, and it will be used to UNITE all the religions of the world under Satan, to bring the New Religion of the Beast. Those churches that don’t have it have its peripheral doctrines. In short this doctrine say that when you DIE, you DON’T really DIE, but go to heaven to be with Christ, and wait for the resurrection as a spirit being. Many other doctrines rest on this foundational doctrine of deceived Christianity, and all the other religions of the world. Satan uses this doctrine to “HIDE” God’s true doctrines, keeping humanity and the angel kind in “confusion” (27) and in our “alienation” from our Creator, Jesus our Christ (28). Please don’t blame the churches, because they are VICTIMS of God’s pre-ordained plan of salvation, which demands our “alienation” from Him. Also remember that we are NOT fighting “flesh and blood,” our human brethren, our ministers and the members of the churches of Christianity, or any other religion, but “against principalities, powers, the rulers of the darkness of the world, against SPIRITUAL wickedness in high places (29). We are fighting our un-seen angels, who rule the world now under Satan. This false doctrine HIDES from us (30) to know what is the “soul” of man (31). It hides from us the true nature of our “spirit of man” (32), and what is the “holy spirit” we receive from God (33). This doctrine hides the true purpose of “evil” and “death” (34), and “hell” and force us to accept the “god of this world” (35) to be our Creator (36), making us idolaters (37). This doctrine also eliminates the purpose and the necessity of Christ’s death, preventing us to understand why Christ had to be crucified before creation (38)! This doctrine is the opposite of God’s SALVATION, and for all what our Creator aims for us and stands for. Christ’s salvation and its doctrines are based on the laws and gospel of “God’s mystery” (39). Satan, the “god of this world’s” salvation is founded on the “Immortality of the Soul doctrine” and its “mystery of iniquity” gospel (40.) This article is too short to dis-prove this doctrine, because it would take a book to do it. I only expos some of the errors of the “wide and easy way,” the salvation of the Anti-god taught in our churches. You must take the time to learn the truth if you want to “come out” of your deception, before you can be “baptized” into one of Christ’s seven churches (41), to receive Christ’s protection when the world will be destroyed, as it was in Noah’s day. Depending on which church’s “doctrines” you will accept, based on “examining your beliefs” (42), Christ will judge and you in to one of His seven churches. It is “required” that you to “work out your salvation with fear and trembling” (43), (yes, notice this) that Christ may determine which of His church’s “reward’s” you may receive (44) at your resurrection. To read a summary of the “doctrines of the Pharisees,” you can read my book “The Midnight Cry, Christ’s Second Coming, the End of this Age.” Please visit my web site: http://www.repenttolive.com to order the book. To help you, let us define what is the “soul of man.” Christians are confused.
The Bible defines MAN as a SOUL! When Christ blew
into Adam’s nostril air, and the “spirit of man” (45), Adam became a
“living soul” (46). So we see our “spirit” and our “body” What is DEATH? It is a separation of our “spirit of man” and our body. The spirit goes up to God, the body turns to dust (49). DEATH is a SLEEP or unconsciousness (50) as king David is now (51). Paul said the dead is in a sleep state (52). Apostle John said no man has ascended to heaven, but Christ (53). This is why we need the resurrection, when Christ will again unite our new spiritual or physical body, with our spirit which was “made perfect” in love from its filthiness, as Jesus’ was (54). At the present only God our Father and His Christ have immortality, not even the angels let them be good or evil (55). This is why the angels also need salvation, which Satan’s salvation ignores. What is the “holy spirit?” God is a spirit being (56), invisible to us, who also has “a spirit,” like we all individually have our “spirit of man,” giving us our uniqueness and individuality, and putting us into the “human kind” (57). The angels and demons are also spirits, but are much “lower” in kind from God’s “holy spirit,” which gives us the ability to comprehend the “Godkind.” The holy spirit is not a “person” or a being as our Trinity doctrine tells us. This is why the “holy spirit” is never described in the scriptures as a person, but as the “mind of christ” (58), or as a “wind” (59), “water” (60) or a “substance” (61). The “holy spirit” is Christ’s spirit (62), the symbol of truth (63), making those who have it the “temple of God” (64). The Trinity Doctrine and the GodheadThe Trinity doctrine is a spin off from the Immortality of the Soul doctrine. This is one of the major doctrines of the Pharisees also. The core of this false doctrine teaches us that the “Godhead” (65) or the God family, Elohim (66) is made up of God the Father, God the Son (Christ) and God the Holy Spirit a person. No other being, human or angel can have access into the Godhead, in spite what Eph.1:9-10 is telling us. Satan is telling us that humans and angels all will be “lower” in kind from God, but will be eternal. Jesus and the scriptures is telling us, that this is not so. Apostle Paul, to whom God’s “mystery” was revealed (67) tells us: “For as many as are led by the spirit of God, they ARE the sons of God … HEIRS of God, and with Christ:” (68). This is why Jesus became the “first begotten” and first born Son of God (69). This doctrine prevents our Father in heaven and His Christ to be and to have a family, Elohim. This doctrine prevents humans and angels to be in God’s family. This is a scheme of the Anti-god to put himself into the “Godhead,” and to make himself “equal with God,” our Creator, while trying to “ deceive us,” that we are not the children of God. The Trinity doctrine makes Satan, the “Holy Spirit,” and a “person” not the essence and “substance” of God. The Godhead is “higher” in kind from human and angelkinds, including Satan. This doctrine creates “confusion,” hiding from us the truth, holding us in our “alienation” from our Father and Christ our Creator. If the “holy spirit” is “a” person, Jesus and our Father in heaven can’t dwell in us together. Jesus said: “I speak not of myself: but the Father that dwelleth IN me, He does the works” (70). How could our Father dwell in Jesus, if He was in His throne in heaven? Jesus promised to send the holy spirit, and that it will “dwelleth with you, and shall be U you … and I will come to you” (71) though the “Comforter … whom I will send unto you from the Father (72). Christ by sending the holy spirit for us is showing that He and our Father loves us. As the Father loved Jesus, by giving Him the “holy spirit,” now He is giving it to us, that it be “IN us” (73). Please note that the Trinity doctrine eliminates the need for the angles to receive God’s holy spirit, thus this doctrine cuts off their eternal salvation from our Father. God’s true salvation includes human kind and angel kind’s salvation. Satan by making himself and his angels “equal” with God, based on the Trinity doctrine prevents his and their salvation, because they don’t have God’s “holy spirit.” Jesus our Creator, “who being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be ‘equal’ with God,” our Father (74), before He was “made perfect through sufferings” (75). Satan by eliminating suffering for the angels, eliminates their salvation also. Salvation comes to human and angelkind through suffering. This is why God “created evil” (76) that He may “alienate” us from Him, that through Christ’s and our sufferings (77) He may “reconciliate” us to Him. Satan “deceived” one third of the angels to follow him, to rule over mankind (78). Satan using the Trinity doctrine is “deceiving” the angels that they don’t need to suffer, because he and his angels are part of the Godhead. The angels used to know that suffering and torment is coming their way (79), yet it looks now that the angels are also as “deceived” and humanity is. As Christ works with humans and angels, so is the Anti-god, Satan. The Kingdom of God’s DoctrineThere are many other “doctrines of the Pharisees,” but we must discuss this doctrine, because this is absolutely VITAL now at the End of the World. If you are a Christian it is an absolutely VITAL necessity that you establish God’s Kingdom of Heaven’s embassy now, as your first priority in life (80). You must do it because the “god of this world” has declared WAR on all its citizens based on the “Trading with the Enemy Act of 1917.” The evidence of this is the re-approval on December 8, 2005 of the Patriot Act II and I. Senate Judiciary Chairman Arlen Specter, R-Pa. announced that the negotiating committee had reached an agreement that would extend for four years two of the Patriot Act's most controversial provisions. If you watch the news, you see that the Patriot Act is now being used against American citizens. The war is on even if you refuse to accept it. Please look at what is taking place in the after mass of hurricane Katrina. The victims are without any Federal, State or insurance help. There is no power, or any other services. There is no work to support the people, and none of the social systems are functioning. Please put yourself in this situation. To rebuild the infrastructure, the contractors are fighting an all out battle among themselves, to win the demolition and reconstruction of New Orleans. The people are starting to experience this war, like the people in Iraq. Soon, because of our sins the rest of the country will experience WAR also, because the Anti-god and our Creator declared war on us. Christians are also in a war with their Creator, being “enemies of God” (81), because all Christians are doing things the “Anti-god’s way” instead of God’s way (82). God’s way is to use His laws, and money, while the Anti-god’s way is to use codes and credit. These two things are opposite of each other. Christians can’t worship / obey two masters (83), because our Creator IS the TRUTH ( 84), while the Anti-god has NO TRUTH in him (85). To solve this enigma or CONFLICT, we are told to “come out” of this world religiously, legally and financially, not to receive the “plagues” which will come for our disobedience or SIN (86). Since the “whole world” is now “deceived” to obey and worship the Anti-god, it is a great sacrifice to “obey” Christ. To help us Christ promised to provide a way of escape for us (87). Christ did this, by telling us to “come out” of this system. If we do as commanded, we will be to the system of this world, being in Christ’s Kingdom as His Ambassadors. Ambassadors are not under the “jurisdiction” and laws and customs of the host country. Ambassadors are “witnesses” to keep between the host country and their country. As long as there is PEACE between the two countries, the Ambassadors can do their work. When war brakes out between the two countries the Ambassadors are called home or kicked out by the host country. There is PEACE between God’s and the Anti-god’s kingdom at the present, and will be until God’s “Two Witnesses” are doing their “testifying (88). When the Two Witnesses have finished their time give to them, their “three and a half years,” Satan will be allowed to “kill” these Prophets, and their followers if they did not “FLEE” to God’s Place of Safety” (89). Sorry folks, the “Rapture” doctrine is not in the Bible so don’t count on it. To “obey” God, it always required a “sacrifice,” starting with Cain and Able. Today, you must file your legal papers to “come out” of this world, which will cost you time and money, a sacrifice. It will also cost you to “enter into” God’s Kingdom of Heaven, by setting up legally your Home Ekklesia, your Embassy (90). There are many other doctrines of the Pharisees, for every doctrine which your church has, Christ has an opposite true doctrine. These few foundational doctrines show you that we are all deceived as Christ tells us, and need to repent Rev.12:9! If you are a Christian you must consider that you are “deceived” as the scriptures tells us. This is a big hurdle because to see that their religion is deceived, and that they are serving the Anti-god. They assume that all Christians can’t be wrong. Your first responsibility is to find God’s Two Witnesses, and the truth that you could change to God’s and these Prophets’ “restored” religion (91), while working on your legal papers and procedures. Your next responsibility is to help others to know the truth. If you are not willing to love your fellow man, you can’t love the invisible God (92), and you can’t qualify for Christ’s protection, or to be in the resurrection, because to be in it you must have God’s “perfect love” (93). You gain perfect love when you overcome all your fears. If you are in God’s Kingdom, you also need to consider which of God’s seven churches you want to belong? If I were you, I would choose the Philadelphia church (94) because only this church is promised protection, when the whole world will be tried, in the “day of God,” when the whole world will be destroyed as it was in Noah’s day (95). Only this church is promised to be in the resurrection without dying (96). There are other doctrines of the Pharisees. What I am showing is enough to tell you that the ‘WHOLE WOLRD is DECEIVED, and YOU MIGHT be DECEIVED! I pray that you may “hear” Christ’s “Midnight Cry” and act on it immediately. The longer you wait the more difficult it will be on you.
